2002/03 Fantasy Football

Rewind to the 2002/03 Premier League. Man Utd took the title on 83 points, with Arsenal in pursuit. Your job: build a £100m fantasy squad from that season's 336 real players across 20 clubs, then play all 38 gameweeks and see how many points your 2002/03 XI can rack up. Thierry Henry is the season's most expensive pick at £11.5m, but bargains like Sami Hyypiä (£6.0m) are where mini-leagues are won.
